Considering the title, I shouldn't have been disappointed, but I was. The first story, "Her Lover's World", by Rachel Carrington, was about a woman who falls in love with the King of Atlantis (the fates have condemned him & his people to roam through time portals, looking for the new Atlantis). It was so cliched & corny that I was embaressed.
"The Lady of the Seals" (a selkie, perhaps?) was almost as bad. In both stories, a love child was the result of the love affair, & the ending was happy/sappy. The third, by Shiloh Walker, was an extended menage a trois. I've been around for awhile, but how people can survive so much, and live through so many extended orgasms is beyond my comprehension. In short, one dies, becomes a ghost, & encourages the other two to get together again. The sex was intense, graphic, & just too much - it took away from the storyline. But then again, it might be your thing.

Lots of sex, little story, underdeveloped characters, in short a waste of a tree......

3.2 stars for Shiloh Walker's Voyeur. The sex was raw and plentiful (yahoo!), but it had only a skeleton of a story. It vaguely reminded me of Truly, Madly, Deeply with Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman, which I liked for its "lover who comes back as a spirit after his death" plot. The ending, however, had me scratching my head because it didn't make any sense to me. I wasn't much interested in the other two stories in the anthology and barely skimmed through them.
